Everything for the little ones — gear, activities, and real advice
Can you even believe it? My sweet Stella girl, my first baby, my angel born at 2:22 on July 22nd, just turned FOUR. It feels like just yesterday I was holding her tiny little self, and now she's a full-blown kiddo with her own big personality. Time is such a thief, but also such a gift, and I'm just here trying to soak up every single second of it, even the messy ones :),
Okay, you guys know I'm all about keeping things real and easy, especially in the mornings with three little girls running around. But I still can't believe how much I love these Kodiak Cakes waffles, they're seriously a game changer for our busy family breakfasts! Like, I just knew they'd be good, but this good?! :,)
Looking back at those first few months of pregnancy with Cherry, my heart was just swimming in anxiety, you know? But now, here we are, days away from meeting our sweet girl, and all I feel is this overwhelming wave of gratitude. It's wild how much can change, and how much you learn about yourself along the way. :,)
You guys know I'm all about finding those little moments of peace in the chaos, and tbh, nothing resets me quite like a good everything shower. It's not just about getting clean, it's a whole vibe, a mental refresh, and a little self-care ritual that makes me feel like a whole new human. Especially when I get to smell like almond and vanilla all day long, it's just heaven!!
Okay, so I just HAVE to share these last pregnancy photos we took with our amazing friend Erinn. I'm literally counting down the seconds until baby girl is here, and looking at these just makes my heart feel so full and a little bit crazy all at the same time hahah. It's wild to think this chapter is closing, and a brand new one is about to burst open!
My heart is just bursting bc my sweet Stella started preschool today, all by herself this year! It's so wild how fast they grow up, one minute they're tiny babies and the next they're walking into school like a big girl. I swear every milestone feels like a little piece of my heart goes with them, but also like a huge wave of pride, you know?
I feel like I've been waiting for you forever, Cherry Jo, but the moment you arrived, it was like I’d known you my whole life. This little girl has completely stolen my heart and filled our home with even more love than I thought possible. I'm still pinching myself tbh.
I still can't believe she's here, our little Cherry Jo. It feels like just yesterday I was sharing my pregnancy journey with you all, and now, she's in our arms, making our family feel so complete. This whole experience has been a whirlwind of emotions, and I just had to sit down and spill all the details, bc you guys are truly like family to me.
Okay, mamas, I did it! My first solo outing with Stella, Ozzy, and baby Cherry all by myself, and ngl, I was a little nervous. But we totally crushed it! And after all the hand washing and sanitizing, I'm sharing my absolute go-to for keeping my hands from feeling like sandpaper.
Okay so you guys know I love watching these kinds of videos, and I thought it was time to share our own real-life newborn night routine with baby Cherry. It's not always perfect, but it's always full of love and tiny snuggles. Come hang out with us for a bit! ❤
Our annual pumpkin patch trip is seriously one of my favorite traditions with the girls, and this year was extra special bc it was Cherry bear's first time! Even if she did sleep through most of it hahah, it just hits different seeing them experience all the fall feels.
You guys know how much I love our family traditions, and movie night is seriously one of my favorites. We go all out, like, full-on costume changes and recreating scenes, and it's just pure magic every single time. It's not about being perfect, it's about making memories and laughing until our bellies hurt.
It feels like just yesterday we were bringing our sweet baby Cherry home, and now she's already hitting all these milestones. My heart is seriously bursting with joy and pride watching her, but ngl, it's also breaking a little bit bc time is just flying by way too fast. :,)
I just knew when I saw that positive test how much I was gonna love our Cherry girl, and I was so excited for her to get here. Now she's here and she's seriously exceeded all my wildest expectations, in the best way possible. Motherhood is just wild, isn't it?! :,)
Breastfeeding has been such a wild ride for me, and honestly, I feel like it's something we don't talk about enough. It's this beautiful, intense, and sometimes super challenging part of motherhood that I've experienced with all my girls. I just wanted to share my real, unfiltered thoughts on it, because if you're feeling all the feels too, you're definitely not alone.
Okay, mamas, let's talk about finding those little pockets of calm and creativity for our kiddos, especially when we're trying to cut down on screen time. I've found something so simple but so magical for my girls, and it's completely free! It's the LEGO® Magazine, and it brings so much joy to our home every time it arrives.
OMG you guys, 2025 was just... everything. It brought us our sweet baby Cherry, and honestly, I still can't believe she's here. Looking back, it feels like a blur of pure joy and a little bit of chaos hahah, but mostly just so much love. Now, as we step into 2026, my heart is just overflowing with gratitude and so much excitement for what's next with my favorite people.
Okay, so I'm always talking about my girls and how much I love watching them grow, but there's something extra special about seeing my big girls with baby Cherry. It's like my heart just melts into a puddle every single time, ngl. These sister bonds are just everything to me, and I'm so grateful I get to witness it all unfold.
I always wanna match with my girls and these are the brands that make it easy and SO cute.
